I may be wrong, but after watching the news this summer, I think it’s a pretty safe bet to say that the summer of 2012 is the summer of the zombies. There are reports and stories of the zombie apocalypse… people biting each other’s faces, people getting shot and not dying, and for the kiddies, zombies falling in love. I don’t know if I’d survive a zombie apocalypse, but I’d sure like to try.
I’m an old lady… I can’t fight off an urge to eat chocolate, let alone a zombie hell-bent on eating my brains. The only real trick I have up my sleeve to try to fool the zombies into thinking that I am one of them by dressing in a zombie costume, and then drooling and staggering around. (Actually, it’s not much of a stretch since that’s usually how I feel and look at about 7 a.m. every morning.)
Ideally, this dressing incognito to thwart the zombies might not be a bad idea. We all know they aren’t the brightest tools in the shed, and neither are the folks to make movies about them.
(Eh, hem. Entertaining it may be, but deep in plot it is not. Anyone seen this flick? This one was a little better, but not by much.)
If my dress-up-as-a-zombie-to-fool-the-zombies ruse doesn’t work and you get your brains eaten, well, I guess you’ll be that much farther ahead of the pack and won’t have to go to all of the trouble of getting your attire into shape for some hardcore brain eating.
